What Percentage of the Whites who get in Jewish? This comes up in comment sections on Articles about this, Saying Jewish People are way overrepresented among the Whites.
I believe in Meritocracy, If 100% Were Jewish or Asian or anything, if they earned it fine with me. It is an interesting question that i often asked, but neer seems to be answered
Okay. Ashkenazim have an average IQ of around 115--that is, about one standard deviation above the average for the population as a whole.
All else being equal (though when is it ever?), it would be quite surprising if they were accepted at precisely the same rate as other whites.
And thank goodness to them. They are the best doctors in my experience. Whatever the reason, they're just in tune with medicine.
It doesn't stop from rich blacks from doing the same. Do you think Russell Simmons' daughter got into Harvard purely on merits?
Am I aware that not every legacy admit in the history of legacy admits is white? Yes. Thanks though.
Doesn’t make it based on merit.
So you're saying because of legacy admit we have let in a bunch of subpar black students? I don't care if they take away legacy admits. You know who cares? The same caring liberals who run the show. They need the $$$ from them. And I am certain most of the admits are the same liberals who virtue signal about diversity. But go ahead. Destrory the legacy admit. The likes of Chelsea, Malaia and Hunter will be suffering.
How do Whites get into top schools now? Those schools will be majority Asian just like the spelling bee.
They will do it by behaving in a similar fashion to Asian Americans: working hard, stressing education, not having kids outside of wedlock and not getting divorced. Behavior like this equates to success regardless of a person’s race, creed or color.
But whites will still lag behind Asians for the same reasons that are put forward to undermine blacks’ innate abilities, no?

I’m saying you can’t support legacy admissions and then claim to want merit-only considerations for admissions. If you don’t care about legacy admissions going away, then you shouldn’t take issue with that hypocrisy being called out.
Thomas takes Jackson and her racist delusions to the wood shed.
Wow. I agree with Justice Thomas. Here's is an excerpt I particularly liked:
"And their race is not to blame for everything—good or bad—that happens in their lives. A contrary, myopic world view based on individuals’ skin color to the total exclusion of their personal choices is nothing short of racial determinism."
For one, I'm not 'white' but why should my race matter?
Secondly, around 87% of the population commits under 40% of homicides. Why don't you try to fix that part of your culture? You admitted it as well: "a black person shoots another black person over an argument"
The white-Asian gap is far less controversial than the black-white gap.
It’s also far less at all. There’s probably a few dozen Asians getting denied each year. Big deal .. the false equivalency put forth by this joke of a court is astounding
Uh....standardized tests have zero bearing on if you will graduate and be successful. That is why many schools don't use it for admission, as they did long before the invention of the SAT and ACT
Wrong. I recently heard an MIT faculty member say 700 is the minimum SAT math score for undergraduate admission. He said student a with lower score tend to perform poorly.
And such standardized tests were instituted decades ago to combat favoritism based on race, ethnicity, or wealth.

Classic Thomas straw man. No one is claiming race is to blame for “everything”.. but Jackson eloquently presented real facts that Thomas hand waves away because of his own insecurities. the fact is people knew Clarence was an AA because he is pretty stupid

See the controllers at these schools don't want to talk about legacy admissions because it mostly benefits coastal liberals themselves. I am 100% for banning it but I am sure my wish won't ring a bell on their door. Who do you think is in charge of running these schools? It's not some fat honcho white guys wearing red hats and smoking cigars you're thinking of. The real powers are the people like the parents of SBF.
You take the point though? The purpose of affirmative action was to allow talented but underprivileged children/adults to level the playing field with admission. B-grade student in the worst high school in the country is more talented than an A-grade student at a private school.
Umm, just being able to read makes you a B student in a lot of city schools.
It's not a few dozen. As I posted earlier, there are only 3,400 (combined) blacks and Hispanics who scored above a 750 on math - and keep in mind this doesn't show their English/Reading score at all. Yet there are around ~15,000 black and Hispanic students per year at the top 20 colleges in America. If it were solely due to merit, there likely would be around 1,000; the vacated spots would go to the far more qualified students.

Sounds like you understand that it is not a meritorious practice, which is what I was saying.

It's sadly fascinating to see so many (I'm unsure about the poster "Court Packer") calling for racial preferences while ridiculing those they claim it helps. How condescending can they get?
